Li/e^s Qreatest Trio ! 



jRIMITIVE mankind discovered fruits, and 

 found them good. All the legends, myths and 

 folklore of early civilizations mention some 

 fruit or other. While the humble forerunners 

 of modern fruits frequently lacked size and 

 flaVof they served as food when man was 

 occasionally the hunted instead of the hunter. 



As peoples ascended the ladder of culture, flowers became 

 an interesting factor. They came to stand for the beginning 

 of another fruit crop, the births of fairer seasons. And since 

 time immemorial flowers have played their part in love and in 

 sorrow, in youth and m old age, until modern man has adopted 

 the slogan "Say it with Flowers" as part of his daily life. 



Even primitive civilizations employed gifts of fruits and 

 flowers to create or to cement friendship. The tasteful flavor 

 of freshly gathered fruits, the delightful odors of beautifully 

 colored flowers — the influence of these on the senses is pro- 

 found and a sense of appreciation generally leads to a more 

 lasting friendship. 



We, too, appreciate the vast host of friends who annually 

 buy our plants, shrubs and trees, to yield them fruits and flow- 

 ers. We desire to make more friends. If the pages within do
